"3/4 Blind" makes the point that persnickety radiophiles tend to be picky about TV reception as well. Responding to the discussion about the right sized TV based on viewer distance, "3/4 Blind writes:
Whatever TV you get I recommend adjusting the picture to reproduce the image as close to ATSC standards as you can get. One can pay ~$300 for a professional ISF calibration. Or do as I did on the cheap: Visit avsforum.com and find the thread discussing your TV model. Some members post their picture settings to what they believe to be "correct" vis-a-vis accepted calibration standards. For the videophile hobbiest one can purchase a consumer grade light meter (~$150) and TV calibration software and do it yourself. See the thread on video calibration. Since I am more radiophile than videophile I have not pursued the do-it-yourself route. When visiting avsforum be forewarned that those posters are every bit as OCD about video as some of us at Herculodge are about radio; they can be rough towards newbies.
Yeah, in my previous post where I said "OCD" I really meant "persnickety."
